I feel like Michael Jackson
I've been pretty sick the past few days and have gone through a record number of tissues (at least 4 complete boxes and working on a few more). So my nose is incredibly red and chapped and now has started peeling. Really the peeling Michael Jackson nose is hot! I know you are jealous! 
There's my random confession for the day! What's yours?
Re: I feel like Michael Jackson
Red noses are the worst. I learned the hard way that I'm allergic to the lotion that is put in some tissues.
DH and I have been staining and painting our deck and screened-in porch. The stained part (floor) looks great. The painted part (railings) looked so bad that DH and I ripped out part of our deck last night and DH is at home today fixing it. This whole project has been a nightmare, and is taking a lot longer than we imagined.
This is exactly what we did! I like how the white looks, but it is such a pain. DH worked on ours for over 3 weeks last year and there are still spots that are missed. It definitely was a super frustrating process. I told DH our next deck I want to be that fake wood vinyl stuff so we never have to stain it.
